It does baffle me too. He and CBS' Verne Lundquist would make the ultimate odd couple.

Is his show only 3 hours - only the brain dead could take 3 hours of that nonsense. The network must screen the callers in search of stupidity.

When I see him on TV the only thing that I can see is his big arse ears. I can't pay attention to anything because I just stare at his huge ears and his huge forehead. He is very unfortunate looking.

He looks bad, has a very dry personality and rarely delivers any unique insight.


I guess thats everyone on ESPN so he fits in I guess.

He is a horrible so called analyst....all things BAMA and hates most of the rest of the SEC teams and fan base. He brings nothing interesting to the table in his comments, he is hateful to all others except GUMP NATION. And makes them even more of a laughing stock. It finally came to me what he resembles in looks, yes the ear are awful, but he has the face and look of a BUZZARD,
which is a scavenger so is he. Don't get what ESPN sees in him...

I clicked on to say exactly that. I'm sure that SEC Network folks thought that he would be a great fit based on the success of his radio show. Problem is, his radio show is overrated to begin with and he really does not translate well to television. He's ugly, he's awkward and he is not entertaining in the least.

In defense of the SEC network, I think they did an excellent job in choosing their crews; Finebaum is the obvious BIG miss.

Wonder how long he will last?

He and his program are an embarrassment to the South.

Now that he's also simulcasting his radio show, it's truly scary to see what some of his callers, especially the Gumps & Barners, really look like.

I had bad mental pictures of what some of those goofballs might look like, but Jesus! Reality was far more disturbing!

I feel like suing Finebaum for giving me PTSD!

I can't fathom how anyone gives a frick about what he has to say. He's so obvious and trite. But I guess he repeats the same shite that the gumps love to hear.

He's garbage. I understand why his show is popular....it's Jerry Springer with football. The question is would you hire Jerry Springer as a serious newscaster or a multimillion dollar show? frick no.

There are dozens of better talking heads that would do better than him. It's such a stupid hire.

I have never understood why TV Networks decided to life broadcast radio shows on TV. Its just not interesting to watch.



Agreed - I don't like Mike & Mike either, however I do think the Dan Patrick show works well.

I think he is funny to watch. He looks like a talking dick with ears.

I always assumed it was to present to the world all the fools that live in Alabama.

So is Alabama but the SEC HQ is run by Gumps so don't expect him to be dismissed. He'll likely get additional time.

Affirmative action code 36.004 states any corporation with more than 999 employees must hire a representative demographic of undead persons, with a minimum one undead hired.
